Your Challenge

• Analyze, design, and document aerospace equipment gearing and splines using AGMA and custom developed methods to target low weight, high strength and long life, optimized for aerospace actuation equipment applications
• Perform strength, durability and fatigue analysis to develop gear and gear tooth details for gearset types including offset and compound, bevels, worms and wheels, and simple and compound planetaries including for both spur and helical type gears, and provide documentation for design reviews and stress reports
• Provide all spline and gear details for use on engineering production drawings for gears and splines including tolerances and inspection data such as lead, profile, and crowning charts, and gauge and master gear details
• Perform stress and fatigue analysis on related mechanical gearbox parts and equipment (shafts,
  bearings, housings, etc.) including static stress, vibration and shock, deflection, and life using ANSYS finite element and classical methods
• Work within product development and production teams to support equipment mechanical design and development from initial proposal through qualification and into production
• Work closely with manufacturing engineers on gear production initiatives and manufacturing process development and issue resolution

What You Bring

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related field
